Inspired by pldc (Loralye) I made my GD some clothes for a Barbie I have bought her for her birthday. She will only be four so I have made her fairy/mermaid/bride outfits more than high fashion. Mainly crochet, but the bride's tiara and the fairy wings are machine embroidery.

Truly inspirational Susan, your grand-daughter will absolutely love all of these outfits. Well done! Love and blessings Chris

LÑooks great. Going to love them

she is going to love them, but only we know how much work you have done. They are extraordinary.

Everything looks amazing, very nice!!!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Because I had two sons, apart from a few action man outfits, these are the first girly clothes I have made. The crotchet outfits were based on the bodice pattern in link. The second link is for the mermaid tail. The pinky/purple outfit is all crocheted with the dress part made of a ribbon yarn. The boots were based on a sock pattern I found on the web with the same frill as the dress. The bride's veil is a circle of netting edged with string of small pearls attached with a beading foot for my overlocker. Her tiara is a FSL heart shape turned upside down. I wrapped this around a loop of elastic and stitched the veil to that. I made a fabric bodice for the bride with ribbon straps and just added a semicircle of fabric for the dress.
